Decided on doing a short tempo to start getting back into workouts. Planned on doing 4 miles tempo and wanted to see if I could hit 5:30 pace without going to hard. First mile was 5:36 then the last three were 5:30, 5:30, 5:29. Halfway into it I decided to at least get to 20 minutes but that turned out to be almost 4 miles when I hit that mark so I decided to just get to 4 miles. 5:30 pace is definitely a little bit of a stretch for tempo, not quite at that level yet. Need to stick to the 5:35-5:40 range still.
